I thought that when a dynamic queue has no packets, hence the pipe show displays 0 0 in between used and the last column, the queue should disappear, allowing for that segment of bandwidth to be utilized fully again. I have not seen this type of functionality, and would like help to get a better understanding of it. Example: pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s queue 1 config pipe 1 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff queue 1 ip from any to ${int_net} in recv ${ext_dev} Result: if ext_net={ 192.168.1.0/24}, and 8 hosts are online, then the queues remain even when there is no traffic on that queue. Aren't the unused queues supposed to disappear so that the other hosts may use the difference? Please help. I have been struggling with this for a while. -- Respectfully, M.G.W.
